Peer reviewedStein, Gerald M. – Child Development, 1973
Fourth and fifth grade girls observed a reward, punishment, or neutral outcome to a game played by a person who chose to or was forced to play. Children, who observed the punished model, appreciated her lack of deservingness. Results were interpreted in terms of the just-world hypothesis. (ST)

Peer reviewedSmith, Cathleen L.; And Others – Child Development, 1979
Second- and third-grade children receiving no consequences or only social consequences for donating to needy peers attributed their behavior to a concern for the other child. Children receiving material consequences together with social consequences tended to attribute their help giving to external sources. (JMB)

Peer reviewedHemry, Frances P. – Child Development, 1973
First-grade boys (N=260) were classified according to response style on a continuum of reflectivity-impulsivity using Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test. For all groups, performances were poorest under reward conditions and better under the punishment and reward plus punishment conditions. (ST)

Peer reviewedBaskett, Linda M.; Johnson, Stephen M. – Child Development, 1982
Behaviors observed in 47 families interacting at home were recorded in terms of interactions between a target child and other family members. The types of behaviors emitted by a target child to parents versus siblings were analyzed as were the types of responses that parents versus siblings gave to the target child's behavior. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewedMulhern, Raymond K., Jr.; Passman, Richard H. – Child Development, 1979
Acting on the premise that she was teaching her son a task, each of 30 mothers selected consequences for her child's errors. In actuality, feedback to the mother regarding her son's performance was experimentally manipulated. Results showed that differential conditioning of both high and low maternal punitiveness could be achieved by using the…

Peer reviewedLanglois, Judith H.; Downs, A. Chris – Child Development, 1980
Mothers', fathers', and peers' differential reward and punishment of 3- and 5-year-old children's sex-typed behaviors were examined using a laboratory analog of a natural play context. Implications for social learning and reciprocal-role development are explored and a social network perspective on children's social development is discussed.…

Observers recorded the sex-typed activities of 49 children during free-play sessions in nursery school and kindergarten. Reinforcing and punishing responses of peers and teachers were also recorded. Among the results, children reinforced one another primarily for gender-appropriate activities. Most reinforcements and punishments were received from…
